Questions about GUIButton.au3

I've started working with radio buttons in more detail. I immediately found that there are two ways to create a simple button.

Before I get too far into my implementation, is it advisable to start with GUIButton.au3 functions for even simple cases? Is it considered "the new way". Or is it only advisable where more detailed controls are needed? My concern stems from the help statement: "This function is for Advanced users and for learning how the control works." I certainly don't want to overcomplicate my script.

Thanks in advance for advice.

I have never used anything other than the native GUICtrlCreateRadio command for radio buttons. UDF functions usually offer you more control over the control (pun intended) but at the cost of having to do much more coding to get everything working - you often need Windows handlers to detect control events rather than the native OnEvent/MessageLoop commands (look at the _GUICtrlButton_Create example scrip tin the Help file). Do you have any particular reason why the native command is not suitable for your project?
